Travelled all over the Old World. They

came soon he would be bcggar.

She was at his side, her eyes full of tears,
her sweet face upliflcd to his own.
They were in the library at their elegant
home; and the old violin peered at tLem
from dantily covered swinging shelf just
over Brownies head.
Guy! Do not grieye! Poverty is nothing
new TO me! My darling, can bear it and
help you to bear it too!'l can"
She never finished. There was loud
crash.
The shelf upon which the violin was ly-
ing had given way suddenly and the violin
lay at their feet in fragments.
Pale and rcgrctful, Guy stopped to gather
up the pieces. He recoicd with a wild
cry.
Hidden away inside the violin was heap
of crisp new bank notes, aud United States
bonds, to the value Of many thousands of
dollars!
The old musician had beer rich mau;
and he had taken this eccentric method of
disposing of his wealth, which now saw
the light of dav in good time. A written

1 LOVED A LASS, A FAIR ONE.
BY GEORGE wITHER.

ia 6EOiGh NlIHER.
/ loved lass, fair one,
AS fair rs c'er was seen;
She was indeed a rare enc,
Another Sheba Queen
But fool as then was,
thought she loved me too,
But now, alas! sh' as left me,
Falero, lero, loo.
Her hair like gold did gllster,
Each eye was Ike II star,
She did surpass her sister
Which past all others far;
She would me honey call,
Shed, o e. she'd kiss lne too,
But now, alas! sh' 'as left me,
Falero, lero, loo.
In summer time to Medley,
My love and l would co.
The bOatmen there stood ready
My love anu to row:
For cream there would we call,
For cakes, and for prunes too,
But now, alas sh' as left me,
Falcro, lere, 400.
Many Il merry meeting
My love and l have had; o.
She was my only sweeting,
She made my heart full glad;
The tears stood in her eyes,
Like to the morning dew,
But now, alas! sh' as left me.
Falero, hero, loo.
And as abroad we walked,
AS lovers fashion is,
Oft as we sweetly talked,
The sun would steal kiss;
The wind upon her lips
Likewise most Sweetly blew,
But now. alas! sh' as left me,
Falcro, lcro, loo.
Her cheeks were like the cherry,
Her skin as white as snow, .r.
When she was blithe and merry, 3,
She angel-like did show; H.n
Her waist exceeding small,
The fiyes did ut her shoe,
But now, alas! sh' 'as left me,
Falero, lero. loo.
III summer time or winter.
She had her hearts desire;
still did Scorn to stint her,
From sugar, sack, or fire;
The world went round about
No cares We ever knew
But now. alas! sh' as left me,
Falero, lerC, loo.
AS we walked home together
At midnight through the town,
To keep away the weather.
Ger her I'd cast my gown;
No cold my love should feel,
Whate'er the heavens could do,
But now, alas! sh' as left me,
Falero, iero, loo.
Like doves we would be billing,
And clip and kiss so fast,
Yet she would be unwilling
That should kiss the last;
THEY'RE Judas kisses now,
Since that they proved untrueS
For now, alasl sh' 'aS left me,
Falero, lcro. loo.
To maiden's VOWS and swearing,
Hcncefouh no credit give,
You may give them the hcaring,--
But never them believe;
They are as false as fair,
Unconstant, frail, untrue;
For mine, alas! hath left me,
Falero, lero, loo.
Twas that paid for all things,
Twas other drank the wine;
cannot EOw recall things,
Live but a fool TO pine:
Twas that beat the bush,
The birds 10 others flew,
For she, alas hath left Inc,
Falero. lero, loo.
II ever that Dame Nature,
For this false lovers sake,
Another pleasing creature
Like unto her would make;
Let her remember this,
To make the other true,
For this, alas hath left me,
Falero, lero, loo.
No riches now can raise me,
No want makes me despair,
No misery amaze me,
Nor vet for want care;
have lost a world itself,

Since she, alas hath left me,

Things q Century Ago.

"On New Years day, as soon as serv-
ice was over in the Middle Dutch
church, you might see the whole COM
pany of elders and deacons adjourn to
the house of the worthy Dutch mayor,
Richard Varick, corner of Pine street
and Broadway. There they broke the
first cookey and slipped the first glass of
cherry bounce for the season. From
thence they went from house to house
and broke their bread with merry
hearts. Dinner being ended, John,
with his wife and oldest children, would
90 TO the house of James; the compli-
ments of the season, the customary sa-
lutte, the bounce CHERRY brandy, sweet
and weak and cookey, with the health
of the family, being all discussed, they
joined in company and went the rounds.
They gathered as they rolled around,
and before the moon sank behind the
blue hills of the Jerseys you might see
two-score of these happy mortas in one
company. In all these the rules of de-
corum and society were rarely infringed
upon. To be sure, we had no temper
ance societies in those days, for every
man kept temperance society in his
own house" Thus wrote Grant Thor
burn of the New Years celebration in
the year 1880, within three years of
century ago. And thus he comments
when he iotted down his remembrances
of that years natal day Just half CEN
fury later: Young folks smile when
their grandfathers tell of the happy
days Of auld lang syne. But certain it
is that fifty years ago the people in New
York lived much happier than they do
now. They had no artificial wants
only two banks; rarely gave note;
but one small playhouse, no operas;
no ottomans, a few sofas or sideboards,
and perhaps not six pianos in the city.
Now more money is paid to servants in
some of these flve-story houses for
rubbing, scrubbing and polishing of
brasses and furniture, for wiping, dust
ing and breaking of glasses and china,
than it took to support a decent family
fifty years ago."

A Paradise for Tramps.

The Karg gas-well was discovered in
Findlay, Ohio, about fifty miles south
of Toledo, on January 20, 1886. The
gas was conducted forty-eight feet
above the ground through siX-inch
iron pipe, and when lighted the flame
rose from twenty to thirty feet above
the pipe. 1t is difficult to eXaggerate
the magnificent and impressive effect
of this burning well at night. The
noise of the escaping gas is like the
roar of Niagara. The whole town is
brightly Illuminated by the light of the
flame. When l made my visit to the
well, one evening in February, 1886,
snow covered the ground to the depth
of three or four inches; but for dis
lance of two hundred yards in every
direction, the heat of the flame had
melted the snow from the ground, and
the grass and weeds had grown two or
three inches in height. The crickets
also seemed to have mistaken the season
of the year, for they were enlivening
the night with their cheerful song. The
neighborhood of the well was also a
paradise for tramps. | noticed one
who lay soundly sleeping with his head
in barrel, and the rest of his body
projected outward to receive the genial
warmth from the flame high up in the
air above. Cold as it was all around,
he slept in perfect comfort upon the
turf and in the open air. There was no
danger of his suffering within that
charmed circle.-G. Frederick Wright,
in st. Nicholas for March.

A Questionable Transaction.

GA man at Kingston, n. Y, whose
wife owns all the money in possession
of the pair, got 81 from her the other
day by novel trick. He engaged a
81 hat at store, and arranged with
the dealer to bring his wife in to pay
for it, when the dealer was to charge
$4 and pay him the difference. The
man brought his wife, who reluctantly
paid the S4, and the couple left. Shortly
after the man returned, got the other
81, and departed happy" So says an
exchange. This seems to us bad prece-
dent. What's sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, and the practice
may have wider application. Wives
should allow their husbands an amount
of pin-money for their use, and not
compel them to resort to such question
able articles.

The Boys.

"Don't make the mistake of thinking
that anything will do for the boys!''
Upon what is done for your boys de-
ponds their lifelong habits and career.
With small, dark room, dull carpet,
hard bed and all the old furniture
what boy can be taught the pleasures
of owning nice things and the impor-
lance of keeping them in order? Give
the boys equal advantages with your
girls. Coax them to stay at home with
good books and periodicals, pictures
ornaments and comforts in their sleep
ing-rooms, have their " chums come
to dinner frequently, invite their girl
friends often, and treat them with great
politeness atall times. A wise mother
well known to us, puts little lunches
for her boys in their room when they
have been out spending an evening and
come home late. Not long since one
of them said to her, 81 don't believe
anybody else will ever do that for me
and | doubt very much if l ever have
another home that will be as pleasant
as this has been" Oh, it pays to trea
the boys well!

Martha WashingtOn's Wardrobe.

The department of state at the capt.
tai has collection of the private
papers of Washington, which includes
one of these orders. 1t was sent soon
after his marriage, and the American
belle of to-day would consider herself
happy in the replenishing of her ward
robe by this single purchase of George
Washington for Martha. The bill is a
long one, and among the items there
are two pairs of women's white silk
hose, six pairs of fine cotton hose and
four pairs of four-threaded hose, two
pairs of satin shoes and four pairs of
shoes made of cloth. Twenty pounds
(or 5000 worth of Brussels or point
lace are ordered, and there is a striking
item of six pounds of perfumed powder.
He wants for her dozen of the most
fashionable cambria pocket handker-
chiefs, fashionable hat or bonnet,
half-dozen pairs of the finest kid gloves
and like number of mitts. He also
orders sugar-candy, six pounds of
snuff, dozen knots of breastknots,
and two pettcoats, one of which is to
be a puckered one of fashionable
color and the other to be made up
of silver tabby velvet.-Frank G.. Car

Using the Crumbs.

The executive ability required to sue
cessfully balance the needs of the bread
jar may not be given to every woman,
but she may at least see that none is
wasted. If pieces have accumulated
dry them crisp and brown them in the
oven and use them for the stutling of
fowls, or the basis of pudding or for
griddle- cakes. If half loaf or a whole
one is too stale to be relished on the
table setit in the steamer over kettle of
boiling water and send to the table on
hot plate, covered with a napkin, or,
after pouring enough water over it, set
it in a covered pan in the oven and let
it remain until the superfuous mois-
ture has evaporated and the bread is
really steaming. This should be an
occasional dish only, as no one likes it
many times in succession. Slices of
stale bread may be dipped in egg and
fried brown in butter like an omelet.

FROM LIFE TO DEATH


Is but moment if rheumatism or neural
gia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They fly from one part to another without
a moments warning, and liniments and
other outward applications are in them
selves dangerous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant death. Rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, and can
only be reached by a remedy which will
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such remedy is Athlophoros. 1t has been
thoroughly tested and is a safe, sure cure.
Dover, n. H., March %, 1886.

Choking Catarrh.

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep with all
the horrible sensations of an assassin clutching your
throat and pressing the fe-breath from your tight
ened chest? Have you noticed the languor and de-
bty that succeed the effort to clear your throat and
head of this catarrhal matter? What depressing
influence it exerts upon the mind, clouding the
memory and filling the head with pains and strange
noisesl How difficult it is to rid the nasal passages
throat and lungs of this poisonous mucous all can
testify who afflicted with catarrh. How difficult
to protect the system against its further progress
towards the lungs, liver and kidneys all physicians
will admit 1t is terrible disease and cries out for
relief and cure
The remarkable curative powers, when all other
remedies utterly fail of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE
are attested by thousands who gratefully recon-
mend it to fellow-suierers. No statement is made
regarding it that cannot be substantiated by the
most respectable and reliable references.
Each packet contains one bottle of the RADICAL
CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT and an
IMPROVED INHALER, with treatise and directions
and is sold by all druggists for Sl00.

of Notwithstanding has been observed

north of Rome. A hundred years or
so ago the church of Jenne was invisi-
